Explore Kanas:Customized 5-Day Vehicle Tour for Wellness and Leisure in Mountain Hot Springs and Grasslands in 2026
⛰ ️Kanas: An Ecological Gem and Wellness Secret Realm in Northern Xinjiang
Kanas, located in the northern part of Burqin County, Altay Prefecture, Xinjiang, is one of the core areas of the northern Xinjiang ecosystem. Centered around Kanas Lake, it connects diverse landscapes such as alpine meadows, virgin forests, and river valley wetlands. In 2026, with the development of mountain hot spring resources, it has become a popular destination integrating natural sightseeing with wellness and leisure.
Kanas Lake sits at an altitude of 1,374 meters, with a crescent-shaped lake surface that changes color with the seasons—green in spring, blue in summer, golden in autumn, and covered with thick ice in winter. Surrounding the lake are Tuwa villages, where traditional wooden houses blend harmoniously with the natural scenery, forming a unique cultural landscape. In 2026, several new hot spring wellness centers will be added locally, with hot spring water sourced from a kilometer underground, rich in minerals such as metasilicic acid and lithium, and maintaining a constant temperature of 38-42°C, offering significant relief from fatigue and improvement in sleep quality.
